Swiss Village residents find friendship at Kinder Haus

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Students attending Kinder Haus Day Care Center at Swiss Village Retirement Center are experiencing stories from at least three generations before their time.

Richard Beitler spends time these days volunteering to read to little children on a monthly basis.

"I ought to quit, I don't hear what they say to me anymore," mused Beitler. "I like to tell them little stories about my childhood. I bring a three-legged milk stool and sit on it while they gather around me. I like to read stories to them; my favorites are Mother Goose Rhymes and Bible stories.
